It is sooooo cold today that I NEED some soup. I have soup mix that contains split peas (p1 legal), barley (p2 legal) and lentils (p1 legal) and my Mum's recipe uses celery, onion and carrots. I will leave out the meat and make a vegie soup. I know the carrots are limited in phase two and I thought about substituting them for pumpkin but can't find any information about pumpkin. Which is better to use? Carrot or pumpkin?

Is sweet potato better than carrot? I put three carrots in a huge pot full and only used about 2/3rds of a cup of soup mix. I will keep making soup over the next few months though so am trying to figure out how to stay on plan.

Holy! No, it's not! Sorry... I just checked the carb count. Sweet potato is a lot higher than carrot.
